Well why don't you just cut my eye, then?!
LOST TONITE, hurray! It’s pretty much the only show that I watch the night it was taped. I’ve been sick all day today, but will probably drag myself out of bed for it. I’ve never known a show to go from awesome in season 1, to so crappy in season 2 to amazing in season 3. rollercoasters! Hopefully the writer’s strike will be over before we run out of episodes. Stupid...

Re: I just realized
my cubicle contents: 1 - 1 In ‘N’ Out Burger takeout bag I got when I was traveling for work to Phoenix. Greasy. 2 - 1 drawing, in pen, made by a coworker, depicting me flirting with my computer. 3 - 1 wise saying from a desk calendar I had like 4 years ago, stating: “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” (It’s not though). 4 - 1 wise saying from another desk calendar,...

House inspection = completed. 8 million little things wrong and one big thing that may cause me to rewrite my contract, but not sure yet. Also, I thought it was pretty expensive. Why does anyone even buy houses?

Housen Buyinger
Update: contract was accepted and signed last night as of 10PM. I’m calling a housing inspector this morning.

See Fido.
The home offer has been verbally accepted. Signing is tonight hopefully. Then there’s only like 500 more things to do. Life steps make me nervous.
Yikes
I just put an offer down on a townhouse. The Spiritual Advantages of Poverty 1. The poor know they are in urgent need of redemption. 2. The poor know not only their dependence on God and on powerful people but also their interdependence with one another. 3. The poor rest their security not on things but on people. 4. The poor have no exaggerated sense of their own importance, and no exaggerated...

A pretty good summary link of the ongoing Anon maneuver.
Anon v. Scientology
Anon wants to destroy Scientology, mostly from them suing everybody over that nutcase Tom Cruise’s video that was posted all over the place. I agree. Wired article They also somehow got their hands on a bunch of documents. Mirrors Here
EveryBlock: A news feed for your block →
“EveryBlock filters an assortment of local news by location so you can keep track of what’s happening on your block, in your neighborhood and all over Chicago.” From some of the people that made chicagocrime.org. — mariodonini ——— I’ve read about this a lot today. Hopefully they flesh it out soon, because about 80 percent of the pages I tried are [strongbad...

Cloverfield Clues →
Lots o’ stuff on here, and links to 1-18-08, Slusho!, and other stuff. Also checking out the wikipedia entry for Cloverfield will probably be good. Also, Pat just pointed out that the dude behind the camera was called HUD (Heads Up Display). I didn’t even make that connection.
the load problem happens with Netflix too. It has to be because of all the images. I wish there was a safe-mode I could put those two sites in so the images never popped up unless I selected them. Does anyone know of a firefox option or extension to disable images on web sites? Is this common knowledge?
My New Favorite Joke
A man walks into a bar. The bartender says, “What will it be, Mac?” The man looks at the drink menu and says, “How about a revolution of the proletariat?” —- ahem, anyways, agreements all around about the web presence thing. I’ve discussed with LD and TGD how I want to completely restructure the original schizocentral and TTB stuff and how it would take...
Macworld 2008 Peanut Gallery Comments
Realtime Macworld Comments from the peanut gallery! update 1: I’m not an Appleface or whatever they’re called, but I do concede that their stuff looks pretty fantastic, and they are no doubt ahead of the game in most categories, even if it’s business applications are mostly non-existent (I know, that’s not what they’re meant for, I’m just saying). However, 2...
My twopence about playlists
I used to have a text file with every single mix tape track listing I’ve ever made, along with having them as playlists in iTunes. But about a year or two ago I deleted the file and got rid of all the playlists. So each mixtape is a one-time deal. …unfortunately now I can’t remember what I’ve already put on mixtapes, so it’s really difficult to avoid repeats...
Jericho Back Soon...HURRAH!
Jericho’s coming back soon, and I cannot wait. It rules, people. Watch it. It’s a post-apocalyptic action/drama set in the small town of Jericho, Kansas, detailing all the goings on after the US is almost completely destroyed by a nuclear attack. It’s pretty raw and well-written and pretty realistic I think on how things would go. It quickly became one of my favorite new...

The Office Video Game and WoW
Item 1: I just bought this because hey, it was only 20 bucks and I love The Office. It’s a mini-game style thing, not the action/adventure ORPG (office role-playing game) I was hoping for, but it’s still pretty fun. Item 2: LD is getting me closer and closer to purchasing WoW and one month at least after giving me a 10 day trial. There is a lot of complaints I have about the game,...
But all discussion aside...Will an iPhone Blend?
I completely forget who told me about this site in the first place, but I’m fascinated. Here’s the iPhone blend: Will an iPhone Blend?

I just got a disc with about 200 pictures from Christmas and thereabouts on it…~180 of them are blurry enough to not even bother showing to everyone. All were taken with digital cameras. Either someone has a digital camera from 1985, or someone had some sort of chronic spasm for 2 weeks, or else we were all vibrating in and out of existence at different points during the holiday season. ...
Hey David Lynch
Even though you’re rich, and respected by avant-garde fans everywhere, Eraserhead still sucks, and The Good Doctor, speaking in this case for The World Famouse The Test Band, is correct and represents our official opinion on the matter. Also, eZe could beat you in an arm-wrestling contest because he has a more handsomely shaped skull.

I always find those (originally) Nigerian email scams hilarious…and then I cringe when I realize some morons actually fall for them. anyways, read this link and then sign up for b2p and you will have the 85 million dollars! scam reply from hasslehound
